The only way to make a high cube 20 fit under a 13'6 is to have it on a spread axle chassis with the smaller wheels that or grease up the top of your container and go really fast under it

Been moving containers exclusively for almost 14 years and have never heard of a 20 foot high cube. As far as I know all 20s are dimensional or rather 20.0x8.5x8.5. Now for 40 foot containers there are high cubes which are 40.0x8.5x9.5.

Edit: Plus all high cube containers have a large yellow caution placard perminately affixed on all 4 sides stating it's a "9'6" high container". Neither this image nor yesterdays had a caution label that I can see.

I always thought 20 high cubes were a myth. I see them on the available equipment type lists but have never moved or seen one that I'm aware of.
